- Train maneuvering through Barmouth high street on its way to Cardiff via Bala and Llangollen. The guy walking behind the trailer has control of the back wheels to help turn in smaller areas. The skill of all the drivers was impressive. The train wasn't broken, it was just trapped the wrong side of Barmouth Bridge which was closed to trains at the time following a fire

Probably the only Arriva service that arrived to its destination on time!

Touched the curb bro I have to fail your exam.
It was expected.. 1000 wheels. like a Centipede pulling a snake...Skilled job!
@stephen john gray wooosh
Romano Hgv’s are allowed to mount the curb when necessary if safe to do so
@@jamesheaton8579 Not in a test
@@Ryan-uh9le I was told you can as long as it’s necessary and safe to do so but you need tell the examiner you’re intentions

How the hell did they get out of Barmouth ? Some tight narrowish bends on the way out.
Good driving skills and thanks for sharing the video 👍
He's still trying (2019)
Beau ! Bear
I think they loaded off the trains behind Barmouth station because there is a siding next to the station and on a another video I saw the two lorries was parked up next to the station
Maybe they come in that way
Even after they get out of the town area the coast road in places is very tight and twisty and hilly in places
Well that's my manshed being delivered 😆
If you read the information above you will see that the train had got stuck on the wrong side of a bridge after the bridge caught fire. The bridge I think was an ancient landmark and it needed renovating for more than a week before trains were allowed to cross. So I guess this train set was needed on some local line on the other side of the bridge and had no railway line available for it to get there.
The area is just beside the sea, there is water cutting off the area from part of the mainland, there are mountains... not easy to lay railway lines here.
sebofo "the bridge caught fire"
The sea seems like a great way
I like the tail lights on the first vehicle. A missed opportunity to display the destination!
That was really awesome to watch. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. Big thumbs up from me and I've subscribed to you.
Very driver
That’s the most excitement Barmouth has seen years.
I don't know, you wait for ages and then two of the buggers turn up!
Little known fact: In the UK, residents often go hunting. When a suitable animal is not found, the residents will go for more difficult targets, like this one. What this video really shows is the townspeople parading their kill around the streets. Not shown is the ceremonial cooking and eating of the prey.
Yeah.....There was too much rejoicing for my liking! Sacrificial!
Were the passengers on a bus behind this?
Don't be silly, they couldn't afford a bus too, lol
I'd like to have seen these negotiating the A496 towards Dolgellau. Or maybe not, I've been stuck behind too many vehicles struggling along that route.
It's a good thing the UK uses small trains. I couldn't imagine them trying to move a large American rail car through there. XD
First the trucks would need more axles to hold the weight of them. Second the trailers would be longer still. Then the rail cars would also be taller when on the trailer.
Aka...American trains haul trains. Not by trucks. And if it has to be by truck, you're usually getting the electric company involved, to move power lines and stoplights out of the way, police cars to close roads, and major rigging company's involved.
It's often a massive undertaking since the truck and rail car could be pushing 300,000+ lbs.
And you wouldn't get them through a small town like this.
Thank god a yank turned up to tell us all how much better/bigger everything is in the good old US of A, now fuck off.
We were actually there one day when this happened,fascinating how they managed to get through.
not really,they have rear steer Axles,gets you around a corner easy 9 times out of ten
The event of the year by the looks of it in this small town ,they trailer's are brilliant love watching they heavy lifts or tight move's
well done the first driver going around the corner with out touching the curb 👍
@regular everyday normal modafuka
Thank you for making dumb people understand
i thought that as well, the wheel loading would do the kerb edge no favours at all
Wow! Now that's what I called driving skills👍
1janehunter
Indeed but couldn't be done without the special trailers
Mark C And the guys with the controls on those wheels, good job they weren't going at speed 😂😂

It could be a very large version of Tokyo drift 👍

Why were the train's lights on?
Safety first
this is vehicle
LOL THE CITY PLANNERS OF THAT TOWN IN THE 1500s AND 1600s
DIDNT DO CITY STREET PLANNING TO ACOMMODATE SUCH TRAFFIC AS THIS!! LOL 😂
Can't trains arrive by rail.
Or did you miss your stop or something.
A year ago you forgot to read the description of a video
IsThis WhatYouWant
You forgot to get a sense for humour.
Nut case.
Why this Class 158 can't ride the rails to where it's going i don't know, even if it can't go on it's own a Class 66 or something could do the job.
Based on the Slough between Redditch and Studley see these guys all the time amazing skill
Did it arriva on time!!!!! '
Going to Barmouth and around Wales for trains in around a week! I hope not to see this
First driver kept unit off kerbs....well done.
Two different trailers and unit configuration .first is modular a lot more lock .second is longer wheel base on trailer and less lock on steering
Best thing about Barmouth is the road out of it 👍👍
The locals whining that they won't be going anywhere today are probably the same locals who complained about tracks being blocked!
Correct title to video. 'diesel railcar set' on lorries negotiates Barmouth streets.
It's not a diesel anything. It's a train carrage.
Who gives a fuck anyway troll
chris77777777ify It's a part of a Diesel train.
It's a diesel train class 158

So...a train, then.
One mistake and you are screwed, it would have been so difficult to reverse one of these low loaders.
Easier to reverse that than a normal trailer
Looks like the driver's had a good time driving trains around.
I have seen a steam engine on a flatbed trailer being shipped by train from Massachusetts to New York.
Dan u did a great job....
Which is relevant how? 🤦♂️
Wow it's hard even to fit a car through never mind a lorry and a train on the back. Them diver is skillful. And I love going to Barmouth every year☺
Are we mad? No don’t answer that. I know the answer.
Ever thought about putting the train on a railway line to Barmouth?
Oh I see it’s cheaper to put it on a wagon!!!
This in a country that invented railways.
We are screwed.
chorleyjeff Actually NO I didn’t know the line was blocked. Even so this is the sort of thing we would do.
Only last week for example on the A66 at Hartburn on the outskirts of Stockton on Tees n abnormal load wagon was carrying a railway carriage and there was nothing wrong with the railway line running from Darlington to Teesside. So why on Earth a railway carriage was on the A66 is beyond me.
Smog Monster shut up.

Nothing constructive to say, just a complete bell end then aren’t you.
the powers that be should have cleared those streets
Agreed, woman and prams can be seen walking the pavements a bit concerning to say the least ;(
The PTB? Sure they'd love clear the streets. A whole Compendium of weaponage the could reap!
Funny how the classification lights were on, on the trains
Surely there's another route, with wider roads
Nope!
at a guess NO, if there was they would have used it surely

Barmouth is all tight streets so I don't think so
Typical alleys. Professional till the end. Nice job on showing how it's really done
Allely's, you mean
First train through Dolgellau in many Decades!
Beautiful town
Ets3 confirmed?
I’m from dolgellau which by Barmouth
I've walked down there
Did that bridge burn down across the estuary ?
Owen Crouch it got damaged by fire
Love the burger and chips beer swilling rear steerer. Almost stereotypical and possessing the right prerequisites for his job.
Bob Clarke I’m guessing you was on about the second steersman, well I can assure you he’ll earn more in a week what you get in a month
@@y0BeastHD Yellow Jacket can afford a Signature BBQ and a Slurpy?
What i dont understand is why go through barmouth ? I mean the streets are a nightmare for lorries and tight bends. Couldnt they go a different way ? Or if disconnexted off raikway track couldn't they collect it in the open countryside so easier ? Seems they picked the worst possible place to do this lol
Britmatt81 let's just talk about your profile picture...
Britmatt81 I would imagine there was no other place to load the unit as if it were done on the track the lorry would never get off.
its me dressed up in fancy dress for halloween

@@RWL2012 Dafuq are you on about?
why would such a tractor unit require more amber lights than an emergency vehicle has blue emergency lights?
see these trucks alot on m25 m6 m1 great catch to see the skill
Good team work ! Keep em rolling guys.
These streets are a piece of cake for this driver.... you orta see him drive down the allelys 😂🏴 plus he gets the train there quicker than if it was on rails
That truck driver is prob on half the salary of a train driver.
I wonder how much that operation cost. It wouldn't have been cheap. Probably many thousands of pounds. Might have been more cost-effective to just leave it stranded until the bridge got fixed.
they have done it with the 801
would of liked to see the whole trip out to main road
Years ago the guy steering the back wheels would have been standing on the back of the trailer operating a manual steering wheel directly connected to the wheels. It would have been a tough job. Nowadays it's all electronics and advanced hydraulic systems. Easy peasy.
Bus Replacement >_>
2 different lines first one was best
2nd one was better dude. That truck passed the turn much quicker than the 1st
Two different lorry and trailer configuration second one cab to front is longer and first is modular trailer with more lock and different wheel base configuration
The train better not be scratched!!!
I think they're trained on the road...
What a gorgeous church on the left!
This is what they call a roadtrain
Interesting that one was STGO Cat 3 weight and the other Cat 2 weight
It's what the truck is rated to, not the load
Gotcha. Thanks.
ets2 special special transport
Why am I watching this?
Great skills though
Any wonder the trains are always late if they're getting a piggy back on a truck ?
wow
There are some amazing drivers around.
The Fat Controller was very worried on learning about the fire in Barmouth. 'I am very worried' said the Fat Controller.
If only it was a slam door train you could of caught it as it was still going slow enough.
that is cool as hell. 👏
Hats off to the truck drivers! Great job!
Goddammit, who let Japan design the trailers? Now they just drift everywhere!
What a lorry like train.
It's a train on the back of a couple of lorries, it basically said that in the title but yeah
Why not by rail?
Says "Heavy Haulage", Driving a DAF how ironic.
The XFs seem to be doing the job just fine...
Them paccar’s punch well above there weight who needs a scania 730 or Volvo 750
I Am Sekou they do the same job mite be a bit slower but they can do it and the scania and Volvo have crap beds Daf best bed ever
....................and it arrived on time !
I fee, bad for the people
Yeah we pay for this crap....fee's gone up 15%... No one rides trains.. Get cars!
@@69Phuket what? They were moving the train because it was trapped on the wrong side of a damaged bridge.
They were doing you a favour by bring it back to run services
It wasn't towed because of a fire. It was towed due to flooding I think.
These trains make a noise cause they’re being pulled
ah that's one way to replace a rail service...
I know what train is it class 158
Dan Love Monika no shit
@@domestosbleach6905 lol 158828 to be exact
where and how did they craine these onto trucks
If there was ever a load better suited to be transported by rail...
That street is quite wide even by many colonial area streets in USA such as Boston central or other European countries. many are more like alley's.
well You can tell did not get the drivers incense in usa....lol...great jobs guys
Top tip for those people who spent more time writing "why take them by road???!!" than reading the sub-100 word explanation about why they were taken by road; try reading the explanation about why they were taken by road.
Yeah barmouth is very tight i managed to deliver a lot of windbreakers in an 18 tonner only beacause we off loaded them at 7pm when it was quiet
New meaning to rail replacement service
There wasn't a fire on Barmouth Bridge at all. The carriages had to be moved via road from Barmouth due to rolling stock shortage following serious trackbed ballast wash out further along the coast at Towyn after a storm in early January 2014.
Where was this 158 heading to
What was it doing on the beach in the first place?
Hope they let the passengers off first.
This probably was the easy part,further out off Barmouth would also be a nightmare
Well done
Love Barmouth
suprising how long these 158 units are on the road...dont look so long on tracks. like how the first one has red lights on lol
It is actually cheaper to send them by road than run them on the railway??? Fact!
I don't think there are many of these Perkins 158s left now, Northern have lost theirs and EMT don't have many left.
